@LuisMendo Congratulations on your nomination!
Or, well, the nomination of your language.
10:04
@Sanchises Thanks! I just posted a first related challenge
10:54
@LuisMendo I've been trying it out in MATL, but it's not really working yet. I feel that there should be a clever way of doing this given that modular indexing is easy in MATL, but i'm yet to find it. But I'll see.
11:30
@Sanchises I wrote a program to check/generate the test cases and used 26 bytes. My feeling is that, inspite of modular indexing, it's not particularly easy (i.e. short) to do this
 
7 hours later…

@LuisMendo I like how MATL has both homogenous and heterogenous (cell) arrays
 
1 hour later…

@LuisMendo oh, and btw 'a' 'b' 'c' 'b'TTF$y doesn't result a\nb\nc\na, as in page 14 of the tutorial, but a\nb\nc\nb\nb, as I had suspected
(and what is k?)
also, I would expect 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd'TTFT$b to result in c\na\nb\nd, not b\nd\nc\na
20:43
@EriktheOutgolfer That was an erratum in the documentation. Corrected, thanks!
k in that paragraph should have been y. Corrected too!
k is actually round down for numeric arrays, lowercase for char arrays
As for b with logical input spec (TTFT$), it applies the bubbling within the specified inputs. So it doesn't bubble up the specified inputs; it bubbles up the lowest of them, which is moved to where the highest of them was
20:59
docs don't exactly say that though
> the bubbling is only done for the indicated stack elements
21:14
oh, and I'm actually @GolfingSuccess, not @EriktheOutgolfer!
21:34
@EriktheOutgolfer Well, that sentence is meant to signify that. Perhaps I shiould change "for" by "among"?
@EriktheOutgolfer I'm referring to people by their PPCG names, rather than their Github names. But I can change it if you want
I think the sentence is completely off, tbf
@LuisMendo oh I don't mind
Would this be better? "the bubbling is only done among the indicated stack elements"
I still think it carries the same meaning...
Hopefully the sentence added after the example makes it clear:
22:11
@LuisMendo somewhat more, yeah
